Take a trip to memory lane in Dutch hardcore and reminisce one of the most promising bands from the Netherlands in the last decade. It was 2003 when a young band called Icepick put out a demo on Discontent Records. The 5 songs inspired by bands like Cro Mags, Bad Brains and the Icemen turned many people’s head. I still remember setting up a show in a small pub and the weeks before you could feel the tension rising and before Icepick struck their first note, you knew the place would explode. Numerous shows throughout Europe followed and meanwhile the band got picked up by Not Just Words Records for their debut CD ‘Goldrush’. This simply was the perfect follow up to their amazing demo. Some more Icemen and later-era Cro Mags influences were thrown in the mix, and all songs were delivered with so much precision, the harsh riffs, precious drum fills,
the guitarsolos and the honest lyrics, you just had to bang your head to this one… ‘Goldrush’ got alot positive feedback and Icepick again played all over Europe. And then things got silent.

Until 2010 when a show in the Innocent, Hengelo (NL) was announced. Then on some trip to the UK, singer Emiel also noticed that there were 2 songs still unreleased, that Icepick would love to get out. Of course The Limit Records was very eager to do this job, so here we go. Pre-orders are up now and this record will be out for the one and only final Icepick show on August 8 at the Innocent, Hengelo (NL) with alot more great bands like Bitter End and New Morality. So be sure to get there and give Icepick the final show they deserve.

When all hell breaks loose, from its darkest regions a new dawn will rise. The sound is hard and the attitude without compromise, when the lost hellspawn reigns upon earth with it’s evil twisted thoughts. His name is Cold Blooded and its first act of sin will be unleashed on The Limit Records.
Cold Blooded found its place on the lowlands of Friesland (NL) and boasts (ex-)members of bands like Spirit 84, Remain, Cornered among several others. In May 5 songs were recorded at Double Impact studios that are simply too hard to go unnoticed. The sound is like war between the street thugs from Cleveland and the vikings from Sweden and you're witnessing it from the first frontlines.

'Soothsayer is the absolutely badass debut EP from Auburn, NY's Born to Expire, and I have to assume they're named after the Leeway album, which is always a good sign - even if they don't sound like Leeway! Expect crushing metallic hardcore that spices up the traditional power chord rhythms and chugging midpaced breaks with some dense, sludge-laden grooves and cold, crawling dissonance.

The recording on this thing is heavy as shit, too. I've never heard basslines this effectively loud before in my life! I swear the bass must be mixed dead even with the guitars, if not a touch louder. And I love it! I hope they maintain that balance on all of their future recordings, 'cause it makes the riffs - which are already superfuckin' meaty - hit even harder.

The overall feel of this stuff kind of reminds me of the mighty Dead City, which is also always a good sign. According to the dude from the band who sent me the EP, their new material is hinting at a little more of a Crowbar influence, which could be really cool hearing how those types of runs already seep into these tracks. Hell, there are moments herein that damn near touch on doom metal vibes, so... who knows how far they'll take such elements down the road? Whatever the case, this is a killer start, and I'm really looking forward to hearing more.'- Aversionline (www.aversionline.com)

Cornered started late 2008 after the demise of some previous bands, to play in your face hardcore. Early 2009 a demo was recorded, which was received very well and shows with for example Cold World and Have Heart followed as well as a crazy European tour with Deal With It from the UK. And also Cornered recorded 2 songs for a split EP with Cold Snap, which was released in September 2009. So after a great year in 2009, 2010 was meant to start off even better… a European tour with New Morality kicked off on January 2 and the whole tour turned out to be amazing. Besides that some awesome shows with bands like Terror, Madball and H20 were a blast. Now is the time to push things to the next level with Living The Lie. The record was recorded by Double Impact studios.
